Thanks for your answers, I am in Ireland it is a different ballgame, this is her house, I gave up everything to come and help her. It makes a truly terrible situation just about impossible. I just got her to bed, she has been the worst I have ever seen her. I have a raging headache and I really do not know what I am going to do. She asked me to forgive her okay here we go.....

She is acting mean, but I wonder if she is really afraid. Ask her doctor to give her something for anxiety and see if that helps. Her behavior sounds downright whacko, to use a scientific term. Or like a three year old.

Her behavior hurts you, because she is your mother. Can you look at her as if she were a stranger? In that case, you would be able to let her remarks bounce off you.

If I were in your situation, I think I would try medicating her, and if that didn't work, placing her in a NH. It doesn't do you any good to hate her, as anyone would in your position, and it doesn't do her any good to act so hatefully. If medication doesn't help, try very hard to get her out of your house.

Madeaa, can your Mom go into a memory care unit? Do you have other siblings who can help?

You need to sit down with your Mom and tell her to stop it. Learn to walk away. Ignore her nasty attacks. You could also begin to take videos/pictures of her eating to document that she is in fact eating.
